About 25 years ago I taught two of my three daughters to ride their two-wheel bikes in about 1/2 an hour, both of them at the same time, without training wheels. Meditation can be that easy. More on meditation without training wheels in a minute. But first … I work with sound and sound gear.…

What we call perception, is quite frequently misperception that causes us to suffer. I’m a voracious reader and relentless information gatherer. This is empowering, but comes with risks. We all know how easy it is to start reading one news story or blog post and end up reading a dozen related posts or stories. Some…

Early this morning, I thought I heard Sufi master Hazrat Inyat Khan whispering to me in Sanskrit. But it was myself disguised as Hazrat Inyat Khan speaking to me. His words reminded me of being a 23 year old electronics technician faced with fixing yet another broken piece of gear. Hazrat said to me: “Michael,…

In these days of unprecedented (and unpresidential) lying, I’ve been looking for truth. While liars are quick to speak and obsfucate, truth remain true and can be felt as such. It seems that the liar is quick to speak and distract the listener who would inevitably perceive the truth which always speaks with a softer,…

All beginnings are from stillness. A sound arises from no-sound. In stillness, waiting, we have the opportunity to experience patience. In the stillness, before the arising of form, we see patience is Truth and an aspect of the Way. Patience should be practiced not only because it is good, ethical behavior to extend patience to…

A cleansing breath into stillness and acceptance. Though the desire to be moving through another place and another time is still strong. Oh, to be away from the thumping of my dog as she scratches at an itch or flea that causes the itch. “Practice non judgmental awareness of the present moment“. Easy for you…

N.O.W. uses special sounds to extend an experience of oneness to its listeners. When viewed by the eyes, or held in the hands, N.O.W. appears to be two separate physical forms.
